Mascots are usually stuffed bears, so… I feel like this is more creepy than expected.

You are forcibly recruited to be a magical girl regardless of gender (as it can transform you) and your powers work by Care Bear logic (hugs and power of caring). How will you plot your escape from this insane situation? Note: The creature that follows you as a mascot is slippery and immortal...

True dat, brother. It’s not even a necromancer anymore at that point.

We are definitely on the same wavelength here. I think presentation is key. Nice guys are equal to any other character trope like Demon Kings, Heroes, Princes… but it needs to be utilised correctly. Just like the Everyman trope. Its disregard writers have for their own main character in service...

Yeah, I feel ‘The Everyman’ is both misunderstood and misused sometimes. Loved it when they grew the MC of lord of mysteries and even Re:Zero when thinking about it. You don’t even get told that Subaru is a ‘loser’. It’s just that he acts like one in the story beginning. Blank slates are...

Personally, the reason I don’t like the generic nice guy much is because him being ‘nice’ is usually never explored much. When a Demon King reincarnates, you usually see them having to either adapt or change to suit their new circumstances. Their character traits become as important as the...

I don’t really know how we got here, but I think what people find to be ‘fun’ is a completely different topic altogether. Just wanted to say that the essence of a character matters more than what they become. A bland shell that has no backstory because the author couldn’t think of one isn’t...

I’m not sure why but those novels that DON’T reincarnate ’generic nice guy 1#’ are just so much better in quality. Like specifically reincarnating a ‘Heavenly Demon’ into a Sword or Hero into a Prince. It’s so much more clearer. You know exactly what a generic Hero, Heavenly Demon, Prince...

Finally started posting “The Academy’s Ultimate Card Player” derived from those Draft Idea posts. Thank you guys for helping me get to this point. Was able to speed through the planning process thanks to a lot of good ideas.

It’s the first time I’ve ever felt a comment touch my heart. I was never good in English and only got into the hobby to please someone who I’d felt close to me. Gradually, I started to like the whole process of storytelling and its subtleties. I’ve never heard such clear advice before. It’s...

I had to rewrite this many times and thought I might as well begin with a disclaimer. I’m not really expecting anything from this post. It is just giving voice to a dilemma I avoid normally. Say what I really feel even if it’s just on a forum. From what I can tell, my dilemma stems from being...

Technically they already have those so I don’t know what to say.

Finally done with the main character personalities and how they will bounce off of each other. Decided to pair up Leader + Big Guy (or girl in this case) and Lancer + Smart Girl. The heart being an introvert that chimes in at times. I decided to go with a different format from usual since copy...

I’m going to post a ‘Final Draft’ update later but right now team consists of such members. Since they are more than simple students, the way they act as ‘delinquents’ and ‘bookworms’ can have dire consequences. Especially the latter one. I’m planning to have Alice Aegis, the heroine, to be a...

That aspect of my story is kinda weird due to how the power system works. It’s like Hunter X Hunter except you can gain streamlined abilities from a set. The samurai set includes skills great for a samurai… but the character introduced is mainly a gunner. Using it for Gunblade Kata. Decided to...

Reincarnated as a Morningstar. The difference between this and a sword would be interesting since no one casually swings it around.

That sounds very doable. Thank you for the insight, I I see others did too. It reflected on the poll. Maybe it was too boring since that would be their default anyway.

Honestly, I’m trying to figure out how my story’s main group would interact with each other beyond their power set. More like trying to see what I can get done while writing this post. It just helps me think straight when I’m writing it down. I finally managed to get my characters decided...

Typo my bad. For the ‘Demons’ part I’m just using the western definition rather than the LitRPG version. They be evil and don’t have any friendly powers that aren’t feral or berserk.

I’m thinking of making them foils to each other now after taking out a different character from the five-man band I planned earlier. Now this poll seems silly. I’m thinking of making them reluctant friends that can never agree with each other.
